Seriously I never see 1" collars with a d-ring or center ring ( or both) that are a appropriate size for anything smaller then labs or German Shepard. My weims are bigger then most other pointing breeds and collars are to big or not of "working" quality. Why can't holes be 3/4" apart rather then a inch?

Any collar guys paying attention?

Punch your own holes...

I know I can punch holes and cut length off. I can also make my own collars. It just seems odd no one has collars for the pointing dog market.

All my Brittanys are wearing 1" nylon collars with center ring and D-ring. Bought them from the same place I bought the ones for my Lab. Not sure what the trouble is? And at 1" of length extra means .3" of bigger diameter - If you are using a finger width or slack as a guage I sure can't see a need for a finer adjustment.

Slistoe , where is your source? Honestly don't want nylon but haven't even seen those.

I got mine from the wholesaler I get my stuff from - but it seems that combo has gone the way of the dodo - but there is good selection of them in leather and various types of coated material, even right from this board sponsor https://www.gundogsupply.com/search2.html?query=collar

We've used biothane or beta-biothane collars for ages, and like them best. They are tough, they don't collect stink, are easy to clean with just a wipe of a cloth, come in just about any color you could want, in any length you want (my little jagdterrier wears one) and several widths. I like the ones with both center rings and Ds.

I would purchase from this site's sponsor first, but they're widely available. Some of our local Amish harness makers have them.

Mike, what exactly are you looking for in a collar? Gun Dog Supply has a lot of different collars in a variety of sizes and configurations.

I glanced at gundog supply yesterday. They do offer many types. I will look at them again on a computer rather then my phone. Hope I just overlooked some options.

My setter is on the small side at only 35lbs. I simply went to a 3/4" collar. Plenty to choose from through Gun Dog Supply. I happen to like the ones with the center ring but to each his own.
